ECC Day 315: “Living in Harmony” We often talk about “work/life balance” and finding “balance” in life. Ney reframed it as to strive for “harmony” throughout life. Balance feels pressure filled on a teeter totter, to have equal “balance” of priorities in life, and that’s not seeming to be how life is or an attainable goal per se. Rather, to feel harmony is to trust your gut with how life feels - how it flows, and you get to decide what harmony looks like and feels like for yo

ECC Day 314: “Nature of Change” “Change is something that’s not always easy but necessary and natural, as we grow and evolve to be our best selves. To continue to be real, authentic, and show up for ourselves and others in the best way possible. To be flexible with the world around us, it gives us an opportunity to find that anchor of stability.

ECC Day 211 is a special day for both Sharon Preves and I. 🎥recorded Educator Shout Out Interview with one of the most impactful educators of my career, from my Sociological studies at Hamline University. It was an honor to meet and speak with her current students! @hamlineu Stay tuned for her interview on ECC’s @youtube channel. “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose....Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” -Dr. Seus

On Day 210 of the ECC: Deep conversations with @asherhammersmash over a @chipotle meal, like when our friendship started, about 12 years ago, over Chipotle babies (burritos). Time passes and some memories fade as we age, but one thing remains the same: you & our friendship are incredibly important to me. Thanks for being a great friend, homie! Much love! Keep it real...like the white and brown rice, chicken, mild salsa, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce in my bowl. #ChipInForEd

Swinging into day 144’s meal, which is dedicated to Megan, who was not feeling well enough for Chip-otle tonight (swing video on Instagram @educatorcc). She sends her regards, Chipotle, and her recommended ECC meal: bowl, brown rice, pinto beans, carnitas, EVERY salsa, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce. It was good - trying new things, folks...and, I’m excited for that chicken tomorrow. 😉Preferences. Goals - we reviewed and revised our short-term goals. #Ellen #EllenDegeneres
